This essential core text introduces readers to metaphysics. In thoughtful and engaging prose, Peter van Inwagen examines three profound questions: What are the most general features of the world? Why is there a world? And, what is the place of human beings in the world? The third edition includes an entirely new chapter on ontology. The new chapter presents a theory of the nature of being and proceeds to apply this theory to two problems of ontology: the problem of non-existent objects and the problem of universals. Equally valuable as a textbook in a university course or an introduction to metaphysical thinking for the interested layperson, Metaphysics remains a fascinating book for a wide range of readers, from first-time students to the most sophisticated philosophers.

導論寫的挺有趣的。簡直引人入勝,聲情並茂。 說一個明顯的翻譯上的小bug。 譯文第39頁,引用奧義書,上來就“你是藝術!”根據前後文莫名其妙。 關藝術個啥呢? 一看原文:That art Thou! “這就是你!”

評分這本書就內容而言相當不錯。書中序言和第一章詳細介紹何為形而上學,後麵分章節講述形上學最重要的一些問題。作者對每個問題均給齣多種正反觀點與論證,並以盡可能公正的態度進行對比、評析;往來交鋒中,精彩內容俯拾即是。總之,內容能給5顆星。 但是不得不說本書的翻譯實在...
評分豆瓣上麵顯示的作者是“因瓦根”,這是不對的;作者的名字是彼得,姓是“van Inwagen”。而因瓦根不能單獨作為名字來用。這樣作者會很生氣哦:)

P74-75:we call the aggregate of fixed moments pastward from the moment “the past” and the aggregate of fixed moments furtureward from the moment “the furture”。Thus the past is continuously growing and the furture contituously shriking。Many have found it natural to picture time as a river flowing furtureward,and to pic us the inhabitants of time
